From the presentation, I also learned that time management is very important. #classnotesmu #engl110mu

[Ahmir Dawson @Adawg39]

I learned that when researching, getting someone to proofread your work is a good idea. #classnotesmu #engl110mu

Peer Review: After editing my Contribution essay intro based on Dr. P’s notes, I was wondering if there is still anything you guys think I can improve on? #engl110mu

[Ahmir Dawson @Adawg39]

@katie_mu24 I think the sentence looks fine. The placement of the apostrophe and the “s” just seem a bit odd though. #engl110mu

[Ahmir Dawson @Adawg39]

@TannerDDiehl1 That sounds like a smart plan. Peer review has helped me a lot so far in revising effectively. #engl110mu

[Ahmir Dawson @Adawg39]

@sheeley_amy That sounds like a good plan. I’m trying to do the same in hopes to get everything done in a timely manner. #engl110mu

[Ahmir Dawson @Adawg39]

@ThompsonAsonti I’m in the process of doing the same thing. I think our revising will be better now that we have a lot more skills to use. #engl110mu

[Ahmir Dawson @Adawg39]

@ninasaengdara That’s a good question to ask. I think saying “you” would still be rejected by professors, but replacing it with “one” or “a writer”, which are more general could work. #engl110mu

My main goals for drafting and working is to work efficiently and to stay calm, despite being stressed. #engl110mu

[Ahmir Dawson @Adawg39]

In regard to revision, my goal is to clear confusion with the direction of my essays and make them as cohesive as possible. #engl110mu

[Ahmir Dawson @Adawg39]

I have to finish some final revisions for my Portfolio Contribution Essay, which I hope will improve it even more. #engl110mu

[Ahmir Dawson @Adawg39]

For the Final Theory of Writing, I need to work on showing the direction of my thesis better. #engl110mu

[Ahmir Dawson @Adawg39]

Today I learned that using an elevator pitch will be the most useful way to convey information about my zine. #classnotesmu #engl110mu

[Ahmir Dawson @Adawg39]

@KileyTu23689460 I feel you on that. Even in the beginning of the semester I would go straight into an essay without thinking or planning at all. #engl110mu

[Ahmir Dawson @Adawg39]

@mfrusson That sounds like a great tactic. A lot of times I think of ideas for connecting paragraphs and don’t write them down, which leads to me forgetting what I was aiming for. #engl110mu

[Ahmir Dawson @Adawg39]

@Kaitlyn65737540 Definitely, stating ideas in a robotic, 5 paragraph essay just can’t get the job done at this level.

[Ahmir Dawson @Adawg39]

@tk_54321 I think it looks pretty good, especially with how in depth you went on how you’ve benefitted from learning the concept. #engl110mu

[Ahmir Dawson @Adawg39]

PEER REVIEW: Do you guys have any suggestions or how I can strengthen my conclusion? #engl110mu

[Ahmir Dawson @Adawg39]

A change I’ve made to how I read, mainly when going through possible sources, is reading subheadings to get to a spot that I can focus on for use in my essay. #engl110mu

[Ahmir Dawson @Adawg39]

@Daniell29408927 It seems like you kinda repeated yourself in the first and second sentence so maybe taking out the second part could help. #engl110mu
